Malinois tend to be a bit smaller and a lot more active than Shephards. Shephards tend to act more "mature", Terv's and Malinois tend to be more playful and "puppyish". Shephards CAN have hip problems so absolutely go to a reputable breeder.

What kind of protection training and why... schutzen? Are you connected with a reputable club or trainer? (there are a LOT of bad trainers)

4-8 kilometers running alongside a human will barely break a sweat on a healthy dog of sound breed (not talking about English Bulls here).
